A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband

Chapter 149

For dinner, Jerome had prepared an omakase menu for Chloe, which suited her unpredictable nature perfectly.

The air-flown bluefin tuna was incredibly tender and delicious, the tempura was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sashimi was exceptionally fresh. In short, every dish was outstanding.

After enjoying the delicious meal and having a bit of wine, Miss Thorp’s aura was immediately in full bloom, and she became more talkative.

Jerome was a knowledgeable person, and it just happened that Chloe was too. The two of them went from discussing literature to music and then to games, with hardly a topic that Jerome couldn’t engage in.

But what surprised her the most was that they had both played an overseas asymmetric competitive game and shared a preference for playing as the killer.

When Chloe talked about the game, her eyes lit up, her delicate face blushed, and her fair hands gestured animatedly in the air, becoming more and more excited as she spoke.

Jerome didn’t interrupt, skillfully picking up on her words, and his eyes held an indulgent smile.

After a satisfying meal and plenty of conversation, the two of them walked out of the restaurant side by side.

Although they had enjoyed themselves throughout the dinner, Jerome hadn’t mentioned the collaboration at all. It made Chloe feel a bit awkward.

Just as they were about to part ways, she was about to bring up the matter when this man seemed to read her mind and spoke first,” Miss Thorp, regarding the collaboration with Rose Manor, you can send over the plan whenever you’re ready, and we can go through the process and sign the contract officially”

“Fourth Young Master.”

Chloe paused, her tone gentle as she continued, “Today, you didn’t choose the Sawle Group but decided to cooperate with me. I understand that you might want to help me get back at Joseph.”

Jerome remained noncommittal, his lips curving into a faint smile as he looked at her.

“But the business world isn’t child’s play, everyone has to consider their own interests. Fourth Young Master, I hope you will handle this matter with caution and not let personal relationships cloud your judgment in choosing a business partner.”

“Although I have some conflicts with Joseph, I won’t resort to unfair tactics. In the matter of the Rose Manor collaboration, since he also wishes to participate, I suggest that you review both our proposals and choose the superior one through fair competition.”

Since leaving Rose Manor, Chloe’s mind had been racing nonstop.

She had contemplated the situation from every angle and felt that partnering with Jerome like this wasn’t quite right.

If there were any flaws in Sawle Group, she would seize the opportunity to gain an advantage rightfully. But if she obtained resources through her connection with Jerome, it would make her feel uncomfortable, as if she were using a ruan to climb the ladder, an underhanded way to success.

This was completely against her style as the young miss. Besides her father and brothers, she, being a strong-willed woman, would never rely on any man.

Jerome gazed deeply into her clear eyes, his smile carrying the softness of moonlight as he nodded, “Hmm, you make a valid point”

“Even if he presents a proposal to me, I will still choose you.”
